The Classic French Methods
The French concept and method is to treat the skin as vital part of health care. They are adamant about avoiding inflammation however possible; even by doing corrective treatments on the skin. Classic French skin care treatments are progressive rather than aggressive. They are designed to stimulate and restore the skins own natural ability to maintain its individual health and beauty.French skin care methods go back to the 11th century and have continued to develop ever since. Spices, treatment applications, and exotic essences were brought in from all over the known world. It was the accumulation of knowledge from the proven wisdom of many centuries of world culture. This gave rise to centuries of dedication to skin care and cosmetic science in France. France still leads the world in skin care science, methods, ambiance, and high quality effective skin applications. Like many pleasures in France, it is an obsession. A skin care regimen is daily pleasure for women in France. This passion for skin care begins as an infant and continues for a lifetime. Mothers use gentle cleansing moisturizers on their infants and children. Young and old practice skin care as health care. Unfortunately American women and those of other countries may not pay attention to skin care until there is a problem or signs of aging. French women often have their first professional skin care treatment or facial before they are 10 years old. It becomes a basic element of growing up and living a healthy pleasurable life.
The French are not a radical fix culture. They prefer gentle treatments to aggressive treatments. The results are better and more lasting. The French strive for a high level of excellence and active ingredients in applications instead of a quick sale. The skin is a protective barrier system. It needs to be enhanced and healed, not stripped away. It is better to correct a skin problem gently over a period of time.
In addition Classic French skin care includes purifying, treating, and healing. Anyone can imitate these words, but a skin care client should evaluate whether or not the treatment methodology is cautious, thorough, and precise. Michèle has created a fascinating blend of the French Classic Method with the pampered exotic expectations of the American woman and man and maintained the effectiveness of the French skin care treatment. You get the best of both worlds; American medical grade skin care therapies, specialties and equipment and advanced specialties. French estheticians who are in it for the money do not make the grade. It is a profession dominated by the heart. Clients can tell the difference. French estheticians are highly trained. It is a very respectable and much sought after profession in France. Like so many things in the United States there are numerous crash courses that put out thousands of under trained estheticians without in-depth complete skills, education, or dedication. This translates into the attitude and manner in which the client is dealt with in the salon -- hastily, anonymously, and abrasively. You have not lived until you have experienced the magnificent hands of Michéle in a facial treatment. Believe me!!! It is a beautiful experience.
The French esthetician is not pushy about selling you their products, but you should trust their judgement. They know their products and the active ingredients. The French are still considered the masters of emulsion. That makes for smoother, silkier, lighter product applications that penetrate extremely well and do the job that is intended. The French take a delicate esthetic approach to their skin care products, the same as they do with their world famous food and wine. Their products are lightly but wonderfully scented. Most of the world’s perfume, bath, and beauty product scents are created from the herbs, flowers, and spices that are distilled and blended in the town of Grasse in France.

The Skin — The Integumentary System of The Body
Why is there a whole science devoted to skin care?
Even proper nutrition and exercise just aren’t enough when you live in an ecologically stressed environment. Your body and your skin are under daily attack inside and outside from the harsh environment including natural radiation, toxic chemicals, toxins in foods, smoke, sugars, caffeine, alcohols, daily job and life stresses, circulation and heart problems, disease organisms, etc. The result is facial lines, rashes, unhealthy skin discolorations, loss of firmness, sun damage, blemishes, high stress, a feeling of lack of well-being and ultimately illness.
Most people take their skin for granted because they get used to looking at it everyday. Our skin covers our entire body and we think it is not easily harmed compared to internal organs. The fact is that skin is an organ. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and your first line of defense. Skin makes up the largest part of the Integumentary System which is composed of the skin and accessory structures such as hair, nails, and the glands of the skin. People become concerned with their skin because it is easily observered and it affects our appearance. Many people find blemishes, wrinkles, graying hair, and acne a source of embarassment, unattractive, or a sign of aging. The condition and appearance of the skin can indicate physiological imbalances in the body. Some skin disorders are with the skin alone while others originate in the heart, circulatory system, or from some diseases.
The skin (integumentary system) functions to protect you from abraison and ultraviolet light.
It prevents entry of microorganisms and dehydration from water loss.
It provides sensation through sensory receptors that detect heat, cold, touch, pressure, and pain.
It produces a molecule that is transformed into vitamin D when exposed to ultraviolet light
The skin regulates the body’s temperature by controlling blood flow through the skin and the activity of sweat glands.
The skin excretes small amounts of waste products through its surface and in its gland secretions.
All your body systems are LINKED and equally important to your health, your life, your longevity, your feelings, and your appearance
